Removing duplicate rows from table in Oracle

Question

I\'m testing something in Oracle and populated a table with some sample data, but in the process I accidentally loaded duplicate records, so now I can\'t create a primary ke

Answer 1

create table abcd(id number(10),name varchar2(20))

insert into abcd values(1,'abc')

insert into abcd values(2,'pqr')


insert into abcd values(3,'xyz')

insert into abcd values(1,'abc')

insert into abcd values(2,'pqr')

insert into abcd values(3,'xyz')


select * from abcd
id  Name
1   abc
2   pqr
3   xyz
1   abc
2   pqr
3   xyz

Delete Duplicate record but keep Distinct Record in table 

DELETE 
FROM abcd a
WHERE ROWID > (SELECT MIN(ROWID) FROM abcd b
WHERE b.id=a.id
);

run the above query 3 rows delete 

select * from abcd

id  Name 
1   abc
2   pqr
3   xyz
